Capable, compassionate and inclusive leaders
Staff told us they enjoyed working in their roles with an inclusive manager who lived and promoted key caring values. One staff member said, “I have worked at a number of different places and the registered manager here is the best. They have so much care and compassion, it’s a very inspiring place to work and a great service for people.” Another staff member said, “The managers office has an open door policy, we can raise any issues and there’s good policy and procedures to ensure any complaints are appropriately managed.” Staff discussed how the values of the organisation translated into good care for people. One staff said, “It starts at induction process, people are different, we start by shadowing where we discuss individual preferences, respond to communication needs languages and respect choice; we put people first.”
The service had a manager in post who was registered with Care Quality Commission (CQC). The registered manager and senior staff were committed to providing person centred care. They spoke with compassion about staff who worked for the service and gave us examples of how individual staffs needs had been respected and supported.
